Happy Independence Day to all our partner universities and students.

At an average elevation of 500 masl and located on the eastern part of the country, the Amazon region offers biodiversity, native culture and many outdoor activities. Just another reason to visit Ecuador.

All of our students hold a special place in our hearts, and we're curious: Are you one of them? 👀

If you see yourself or someone you know in this , let us know in the comments! We'd love to hear where life has taken you since your days on campus. 🌎💚

This week, has been colder than usual. Which brings us to a new expression... ¡Achachay que frio! 🥶🥶

Studying abroad can be a life-changing experience, but it can also be challenging. The University of Cincinnati provides a helpful tool called the Cultural Adjustment Curve to understand the different stages of this process. However, not all students will experience the process in the same way. 🛫🌎📚🏫 The staff of International Programs at CEDEI is here to help you navigate this process and make the most of your study abroad experience in Ecuador. 🇪🇨 Take time to reflect on what is happening to you and around you, and don't be afraid to ask for help.

Due to the unique beauty of this cantón nestled in the Santa Barbara valley and the welcoming character of its people, Gualaceo is known as the "Azuayo Garden". It currently holds the title of Cultural Heritage of the Nation and serves as a communication bridge to the Ecuadorian east. Its main activities are agriculture, handicrafts and tourism. Gualaceo is also recognized for its designs that preserve a millenary identity, in addition to the manufacture of footwear and other leather goods. 💐👞🧣

Another wonderful flashback to 2017 with our Stanislaus State nursing students at the Inti photo studio, a place they'd only read about in Judy Blankenship's riveting book "Cañar: A Year in the Highlands of Ecuador". And this year, we're thrilled to welcome another group from the same esteemed university, eager to relive the magic and create new memories together! 🥳💚

Learn a new phrase 🇪🇨😎

"One of my favorite components of this study abroad program is that the backbone is cultural exchange, truly assisting one's comprehension of the traditions and history of this country." - Martina Maya, a student of Salisbury University during the Fall Semester in the Andes in 2017. ⛰️🌲
